About Us
-
We Believe in a warm fellowship
-
We are a family of God's people - The Body of Christ.
-
We are made one by Christ, with one faith, one Spirit and one Hope.
-
We Believe in a Biblical doctrine.
-
We believe in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity.
-
We believe man is born in sin; that he needs the work of forgiveness through Christ-The new birth by the Holy Spirit
-
We believe our Lord will return, the dead shall be raised, and all shall come to final judgement with its rewards and punishments.
Our Goals are to become:
- A Worshipping Body - a place where Jesus' name is lifted up and people are moved toward God in praise and worship.
- A Healing Fellowship - a fellowship of caring ministry to the whole person in a climate of openness and acceptance
- An Equipping Center - providing fulfillment in service to Christ through discovery of gifts and improvement of skills in training for Jesus' mission.
- An Evangelistic Force - with each person being a missionary representing Jesus: the good news of Jesus impacting the lives of people through our lives.
Agreed Statements Extended Version:
These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true. They are common to Christians world wide.
- WE BELIEVE - in one God who has expressed himself in personal ways. We know God's personality as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- WE BELIEVE - the Bible communicates God's saving message and is our reliable authority in all matters related to faith and Christian living.
- WE BELIEVE - that unless we experience God's help and salvation through a faith commitment to Jesus Christ, our future is one of eternal separation from God and all that is good
- WE BELIEVE - the love and grace of God is extended to every peron in the provision Jesus Christ made in his death and resurrection. By turning from our own selfishness and trusting Jesus Christ, we experience a new life, being freed from the old patterns of self-destructive acts called sin.
- WE BELIEVE - our new life in Jesus Christ is the gateway to transformation. Following our moment of faith in Jesus, we believe there is another moment in which we present our life completely to Christ in order to live under his authority and to experience his transforming power.
- WE BELIEVE - that Christian experience is more than a change of mind. It is accompanied by assurance that is grounded in both the Scriptures as well as the inner witness of God's Spirit.
- WE BELIEVE - that all who live for Jesus Christ have an eternal future. Our belief in such a future includes both the fulfillment of God's creative purpose as well as the accountability of all persons endowed with the power of choice.
